French .Politics.

In this, Rossa blames the agents for their present inactivity, and says to them: "You have plenty of oatmeal, and want to use it." He tlieh commands them to recommence the dynamite war, and arrange for several "simultaneous explosions in England forthwith." "Red Jim

McDermott," Rossa says, "is still living, although there is a standing reward of £2,000 for his execution." A correspondof the Gazette attributes the present nt apathy among the dynamiters the wrangling between the radical section of the party and the moderate, The latter, he says, wish to give th« present tory prime minister, the Marquis of Salisbury, a fair trial, and they contend that the pursuit of a policy ot exasperation against England just now will hopelessly destroy all the ghances of home rule.

A CONGRESSMAN FINED.

Judge Payson, of Illinois, Caught by Rapacious Officials In the Yellowstone Park.

CINNABAR, Mont., August 22.—Last Monday, the 17th, Judge Payson, member of congress from Illinois, accompanied by his wife, son and two lady riends, camped out for the night in the vicinity of the lower geyser of Fira Hole basin, in the Yellowstone National park. In the morning, one of the assistant superintendent^ ot the park, who is also acting in the capacity of constable for that vicinity, exercising his authority as such under the laws of Wyoming, visited the place where the judge's family had camped, and in kicking over the. embers,, discovered one on which was a little fire smouldering. He immediately reported his discovery to a# party who clainm to be a justice of the peafce of Wyoming territory, for that neighborhood, by the name of Hall, whose previous occupation, before assuming the judicial robe, was that of a wood-chopper. Hall immediately issued a warrant for the arrest of Judge Payson.

JThe testimony showed that Judge Payhad ordered the fire carefully ex[guished, and that water had been red upon the brands and then earth ed upon them. In addition the camp bare ground, away from grass or ustible substance. The National

Judge Payson claimed, was no part oi Wyoming or any other territory, but strickly under natural jurisdiction. Hall said that he would assume that he had jurisdiction and authority, and Judge Payson should pay a fine of $60 for the ember that was found and $12.80 costs The judge refused to pay a cent, denouncing the decision of tLe justice as ridiculous. Judge Payson insisted upon apealing to the United States district court. ustice Hall at once required the bondsmen to qualify to property exceeding $10,000, which, however, was promptly done. Subsequently the magistrate sent for Judge Payson and said he wanted to have a talk with him in private. Upon examination Hall said that he would make the costs $4, and then he added that considering Judgp Payson was a friend to the park he would accept $10 for the fine in lieu of the $60 and reduce the costs from $12.80 to $4. Judge Payson said: "O no, Mr. Hall, 1 will pay no fine. I want a transcript of the proceedings, including a copy of the evidence, and I propose to send one copy of it to Attorney General Garland for his opinion as to whether or not you have any jurisdiction in such things, as you claim to be a magistrate urfder the laws of Wyoming, when this park is no part of the territory of Wyoming, and the other copy I propose to carry up to the district court before the federal judges." The justice then said: "Judge Payson, not wanting to have any fuss about this, or have yourself put to the trouble of speaking to the secretary of the interior, you pay me $1 for the fine, and whatever you consider right for the

Judge Payson replied: "Not one cent for the fine, but I am willing to pay for the trouble that the alleged constable has been put to," and then, having received a copy of the testimony in the case, he departed for home. The practice has been tor the constable acting as an informer to receive one-half the fine in addition to the costs that are made. This is the first time it has been successfully contested.

THE GRANTS.

The Movements of the Family— The Monument.Movement. ALBANY, N. Y., August 22.—TheGrant family will leave Mt. McGregor the first part of September. Col. Fred Grant will go to Chicago to attend the reunion of the Army of the Tennessee, on September 9th. He will then return to work on his father's book. Mrs. Grant and her daughter, Mrs. Sartoris, will go to Ws6t Point for tec days, and will then join Jesse Grant on his farm in Westchester county. The family will all join Mrs. Grant in New York-in the fall, withjthe exception of Mrs. Sartoris, who remain in England.

CHICAGO, August 23.—Potter Palmer vas asked What the committee would be satisfied with as the total amount of the Grant monument fund and when the subscription list would probably be closed. He said thst since his return from Mount McGregor, he had been too busy attending to private business, which had accumulated during his absence, to look after anything -else. From what he had been told, however, he thought there had not been sufficient canvassing done, and that much larger amounts could be raised than had been originally counted .upon. The subject of Mr. and Mrs. Pal Bier's stay at Mount McGregor was brought up. "We left there last jflbn day," said Mr. Palmer, "and at that time Mrs. Grant was feeling quite" cheerful or as cheerful as could possibly be expected. She likes to havs a few intimate friends about her now, and we would have been pleased to remain longer on the njoun tain, but circumstances would not per mit" "What arrangements have been matte bv the family for the future?" .* "On September Col. Fred Grant and his wife will arrive in Chicago and re main at our home for a time. His little daughter, 11 years old, is already here with our family. The widow will start about the same time'for Putnam county in New York, where she will live for time with the family of yonng Ulysses, who has a farm in Putnam county.

SDeaeing of the funeral affairs of the Grant family, Mr Palmer said he had not talked with any of the members the sjjbiect, but he was assured they could not be a much worse shape. The general's book, though it promised a big return, the family would carry 031 Gen. Graft's request to devote the first proceeds of the book to paying relatives the Grants who lost money through Ward's rascality.

A Rich Find.

^AHA, Neb., August 22.—L. P. Morse & Co., who purchased the dry goods stock of Smith the absconder," for $78,000 in in the United States court, discovered yesterday in the basement of Smith building a lot of secret drawers and closets, in which were numerous gold and silver watches, a lot ef jewelry, silks, laces, etc., amounting in value to between $10,000 and $15,000. This goes with the sale and will make the pumh^e of the stock unexpectedly profitable. It is supposed

7'A GAS CAVE.

A Terrific Explosion follows an Exploring Party's Tour—Several Lives Lost. CHICAGO, 111., August 22.—The Daily News has the following special from Hardinsburg, Kentucky, dated August 2Si: Two miles from iMs place there exists what is known as the natural gas cave, from the fact that a strong flow of natural gas has for many years been escaping from it. i® in the same vein as that of the natoPlp^as well at Brandensburg, and seems to be a great natural vent for a great vein or natural store house of this great phenomenon of nature. The. flow of gas is tremendous, and the pressure so great that the cave fairly vibrates and the loose rocks tumble into the seemingly bottomless pits. But few persons have ventured into the cave, as at such tim as the gas is almost^ overpowering and to enter with a lighted torch woulfl be simply suicidal. A party of tourists from Grayson and Jefferson counties came here yesterday to explore the "diamond" and '-tallow" caves—two noted caves in this vicinity, and while here they heard for the -first time of the natural gas cave and determined to visit it. They had scarcely entered it with their lighted torches when there was a' terrible explosion which extended through the cave for miles. Explosions were followed 'by explosions. Tlje^ were violent

upheavals of

earth's crust and new dL^ or vents to the cave were at once ctes while great masses of rock and fragir of what wefe once greafc*rees"Were st in all directions. The shock was fe Cloverport, ten miles distant. The entire party of six are buried in the debris of

the cave, and so great is the mass upon them that many days must elapse before the bodies can be recovered. The names of the unfortunate victims of the accident are as follows: John Alexander, age, 22, resided at Burkeville, Ky., L. L. Reed, age about 45, resided near Orleans, Ind., Thomas Looney, age, 27, of Jefferson county, Ky., R. O. Willis, age, 36, Grayson county, Ky., Mrs. T. H. Eyser, Grayson county, Ky., Miss Ollie Allison, Muhlenburg county, Ky. Great excitement prevails. A large force of workmen, headed by Col. Horace Scott, a leading business man of the town, are endeavoring to effect an" entrance to the caye, but thesr task seems hopeless. The gas is overpowering ftnd work is carried on with great difficulty, as no lights can be used. Citizens from Cloverport and the surrounding country are flocking here in great numbers and will lend all the aid in their power. It is twenty-six mile» to the nearest telegraph office, and this is sent to Cloverport by mail.'

LOUISVILLE, August 22.—The story of a gas explosion in a cave near Hardinsburg, Ky., is pronounced a canard. Joe Mufhatton told a newspaper man here a week xgo that he was going to write just such a story for the press.

FIRED ON BY THE YANTIC.

A Pirate Boat that Yielded to the American Navy. NEW ORLEANS, La., August 22.—The United States man-of-war Yantic, Commander Frank Wildes, arrived at quarantine station last Saturday from A 'nwall. This port being included in the quarantine proclamation, she was detained, in accordance with the regulations in such case made and provided. The five days' detention expired Thursday night. The vessel was ordered to New Orleans, a fact already' announced, to assist the United States Steamer Swatara in conveying to Washington a portion of the surplus silver in the mint of the iub-treasury. The latter sailed ''/am New York nearly a week jO, and should arrive in this port next Sunday or Monday. In the meantime the commander of the Yantic has concluded not to come up to the city, but will keep hisship at quarantine station, some seventy miles down t^friver, as he objectB to having his ship subjected to the fumigations and puriijeat:

will c.arry 5,000,000 of the standard dollars. An episode of the Yantic's trip irom Aspinwall is of some interest. When out one day she sighted the tug Gamecock, a piratical craft on a small scale, stolen by some of Preston's revolutionists from the Panama railroad company. A shot across her Ijow caused her to surrender at discretion. A boat's crew was put on board and she was returned to Aspinwall. The tug tfas seized by Preston while she lay at the Pacific Mail Steamship dock early in the course of the re cent insurrectionary movements. He manned her with some bold, bad men, and dispatched her to prey upon the commerce of the Caribbean Sea. But her )rivateering crreer on the Spanish main iss been terminated by the power of the United States navy,

educate themselves into a full

knowledge of the machine in every detail and that the company would have no cause for regret An officer of the Feeders' union wa3 seen last night and the following information was elicited: "We were astonished when we learned, thia morning, that seventeen feeders had been found who so far forgot theirpledges and agreements, in the present condition of affairs, as to go in and take machines. Why, sir, last night you would not have been able to find one feeder who was not strongly opposed to faking the machines. The fact is, we are disgusted with their perfidy, and I can assure you it will profit them but a very short time, if at all. They have acted in an unworthy manner toward the nailers, who have offered the feeders the best chance ever before given in this country—that of teaching 3 per cent, of the feeders annually— in fact, just what we have been fighting for all along. These seventeen renegade feeders have gone in on the new or reduced scale ana we cannot get them to say what they intend to do by the balance of the feeders. On the existing scale a feeder," by the depression of the nail market is liable to receive as low as seventy-five cents per diem for his labor. This won't do and it is bound wqrk further and much»greater trouble. No feeder is going to work for these men on such a chance as this. And yet when approached in regard to the matter they close their mouths and say nothing. Not a particle of satisfaction can we get* Nothing can be gained by such foolish ness as this.

By the way, one of the seventeen, probably regretting what he had done, quit work at noon to-day and will unite with the anion. The feeders will meet to-morrow morning Bind the situation be carefully discussed and future action be determined."

The following is nearly a complete list of those feeders who, by taking machines, have drawn upon themselves the combined attack of the Feeders' union and Nailers' association: Barney Flaherty, John Miles, Cyrus Stephenson, Perry Cravens, James Haley, John Vanderhoof, Ten Wilhelm, Mathew McMahan, Henry Skeein, William Phinen, Frank Phinen and William Wripple. The last named refused to work at noon yesterday ind abandoned the machine.

SirXotriSj.Mo., August 22.—The only developments in the- Knights of Labor trouble at this point to-day, were conconfined to the yards of the Bridge com pany to T^hich five Wabash engines were transferred this morning from the Missouri Pacific yards. With two exceptions the men in the yards are all Knights and £fcey refused to draw the fires, wipe or in any way handle the Wabash engines. The superintendent was informed that if ordered to attend to them,Jhe men would quit work in the preference to doing so, No orders have been given yet to that effect, however, and the matter has not been brought to an issue. Two delegates from Decatur, 111., arrived this morning to confer with the Wabash committee.

Diet in Later Life.

It ie during the latter third of his career that the softer and ligtyer foods, such as well-cooked cereals, seme lighter mixed animal and vegetable soups, and also fish, for which teeth are barely necessary, are particularly yaluable and appropriate. And the man with imperfect teeth who confor©^ to natures demand of mild, non-stimliating dietary in advanced years will mostly be blessed with abetter digestion and sounder health than the man who, thanks to his artificial machinery, can eat and does eat as much flesh in quantity and variety as he did in the days of his youth. Far be itfrom me to under-value the truly artistic achievement of a clever and experienced dental surgeon, or the comfort which he affords. By all means let us. .have recourse to his aid when our natural teeth fall, for the purpose of §rocal articulation, to say nothing of their relation to personal appearance—on such grounds the artificial substitutes rank among the necessaries of life in a civilzed community. Only let it be understood that the chief end of teeth, so far mastication is concerned, has in advancing age been to a great extent acct.mplished, and that they are now mainly useful for the purposes just named. But I can not help adding that there are some grounds for the belief that those who have throughout life from their earliest years consumed little or no flesh, but have lived on a diet chiefly or wholly vegetarian, will be found to have preserved their teeth longer than those who have always made flesh a prominent part of their daily food.

Selling a Dead Brave's Kffects and Then Laying His Ghost. CSiioago Tribune. sV

I witnessed an interesting feature in Indian life a. short time ago at one of the camps in the Kaw Agency, Indian Territory. A tent had been erected and all the effects of the dead brave were deposited in the tent The Indians were going to hold an auction. At early dawn before the sun the Indians gathered around the tent The auctioneer, stepping out of the tent holding a blanket in rns hand, began in a loud voice to invite bids on the blanket "Fonr dollars,' sang out an old man who had a patch of yellow paint under his right eye, and sat on the onter edge of the circle which had now formed around the tent "I will give you five," cried one of the Indians sitting in the circle. "It is yours," said the auctioneer, and the bidder, after depositing a due bill for the amount, received the blanket. The auctioneer now brought out a pair of beaded leggins, and the bidding bfegan.

One thing was noticeable, the number bidding never exceeded two, and the article was invariably knocked down to the second bidder. Moccasins, necklaces, fans of eagle feathers—in fact, the whole paraphernalia of a complete Indian outfit was brought out and sold to the highest bidder. Finally an Indian pipe of red stone—a very large and handsome one— was brought out, and the bidding became livelier. "Five dollars!" was shouted. "Eight," sang out a trader, who, besides your correspondent, was the only paleface :.n the audience, and who already saw the

A Princely Gambler's Losses. Letter to Louisville Coarser-Journal. The M. Gagarin who attempted suicide at Monaco belongs to one of the best families of Russia. He lost 3,000,000 francs at the gaming tables, completely exhausting his resources. He then asked the manager to loan him sufficient money to travel to St. Petersburg.

Gagarin then dragged himself toward a window and tried to throw himself from it He was by this time too weak{ however, from loss of blood to effect his intention and fell back to the floor. He was found there weltering in his blood, and TJHS taken to the hospital. -The would-be suicide is a descendant of the noted Matfei Petiovit.., Gagarin, the firat remarkable man of the family, who was governorgeneral of Siberia under Peter I. and who was executed for a conspiracy to make himself sovereign of that province.

Elec trie currents were applied to the nerves of the face, those of the hands and other parts of the body, and twenty minutes alter death the heart was made to beat This organ was found clogged with IJIOCKI, which Was attributed to the stoppage of the circulation through sheer fear just at thi moment before death, and when the murderer was in sight of. its instrument
